DUNG GIRL SEES INGEL; IS CURED After 37 Doctors Give Her Up, Tuberculosis-Diabetes Pa tient Recovers. LONDON. Sept 5 Saved by an angel who met her at the gates of death and bade her turn back to mortal life. Miss L>orothy Kerin, who has been a bed-rid den invalid from tuberculosis and fiia betes. is today running about her home. -04 Milk wood road, as though she had I never been ill a day in her life. Miss Kerin, who is a beautiful girl 22 years old, had been given up to die by ihirtj-seven doctors. Saturday they an nounced that she would die before mid night. Sunday morning she suddenly opened her eyes. Her mother bent over her. “Dolly, do you know me?” she asked. "of c ourse I do. mamma. ’ replied the girl. * I am to get up. The angel told me to. An angel from heaven met me a s the gates of death and brought me back.” j And the girl did get up. seemingly un . der a mysterious influence, and ran down : stairs. A friend of the family, an athe ' ist, at sight of her fell on his knees. ; praying to God. Mind Also Is Expanded. No: Jess remarkable than the restrda tion of her physical health is the effect of her inexplicable experience on her mind. She came forth from her visit io the valley of the shadow with a se rene faith in an infinite power, a belief in a spiritual law. a clarity of mental view and an eloquence of expression usually acquired only after years of hard j study. Miss Kerin has written an open letter in reply to the many inquiries which she has received as to her recovery. In this letter she sajs; “I was conscious yesterday for the first time in several days. It seemed to me that I was slipping out of life. 1 heard the whispers and sobs and prayers of those who love me best. Everything grew black. I did not even think: I just drifted without an effort, without a thought, into deeper blackness. Sees Dazzling Light. “Suddenly I saw a light—dazzling, brighter than any fire I had ever seen, i Stretched from out the great golden , | flame I saw two hands. Then I heard a ' I sw’eet voice say clearly. ‘Dorothy, your I sufferings are over. Arise. You can ■ walk.’ Then I heard mother asking me if I knew her. “’There is a science of religion, as well as a science in every phase of the mate i rial universe. We live in the midst of ; wonderful lands. In my own case 1 real ize that mv long illness and quietness , prepared me to receive a message from the voice which health and success and ambition sometimes stultify. “I do not feel that the the dreamer or any of the ultra-religionists are nearer God than any man or woman today who accepts the truth, and who opens the window’s of the soul to the . light of the spiritual world.” ASKS $500,000 ALIMONY AND A TOTAL DIVORCE , DENVER, Sept. s.—Mrs. Annie L. , Thompson, who with her husband, Alonzo Thompson, once lieutenant gov- > ernor of Missouri, spiritualist and phil . anthropist, has come in for consider able notoriety recently, has filed suit < for $500,000 in the district court against her husband.

The inhabitants of Gilmer are all right a. most. For the most part, they ate God-feat ing and pious.

"As much interest ought to be put I forth in pi eparing a meal as in play ing a piece on the piano." Rev. Mr. Bruner told bis congregation. "A poorly kept kitchen has created , mote than one divorce.” . He cited Martha, 'sister of Mary,: mother of Jesus, as the ideal "heroine of the kitchen." "When it co ij. s io a full considera tion of choosing an all around «ife."
